I had one of these on my '88 Johnson 90 hp and loved it! The 16' Crestliner I used it on was slow getting out of the hole, bow-up for too long a time, wasted gas, made getting skiers up problematic. After adding this fin all those problems were corrected. Fast plane, much improved hole shot, and not more cavitation on tight turns! It makes a huge difference for towing inner tubers when making fast turns. When I upgraded to a 100 hp Yamaha 4-stroke, I moved the fin to the new motor, and even though this was a heavier motor, the fin kept all those problems from coming back. I just sold my boat and ordered an 18' runabout with a Yamaha F150, and I'm planning on buying another fin right from the start. My friend has this same motor on his 18' runabout, and has slower hole shot and more "bow-up" on fast starts, and a ton of cavitation on fast turns. He'll be surprised to see how well my boat out-performs his, just by adding the fin.

Addition was added to a 17.5 foot bass boat with a 60 HP motor for the purpose of getting on plane quicker. As advertised, it cut the time in half. Easy installation, a perfect fit, needed no hardware that wasn't provided, and does not take away from the boat's looks at all.I would recommend this item to all my friends.
